Steam Deck is great device but it saddens me that it has a very poor game catalogue for kids (~5 years). Either the games are not there or it is very hard to find them on Steam. I wish they introduced some separate section, similarly as Netflix or Youtube Kids to solve this issue.
Obviously Nintendo and mobile phones have that sorted.
- Hamuko 4y agoThe Steam Deck seems like too hefty of a device for little kids.
- Jnr 4y agoFrom what I see, not an issue for a 4 year old.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 4y agoInteresting, I tried with mine and her hands are too small.
- Steltek 4y agoA "couch co-op" section would be great for kids and adults (the existing "co-op" section has Eldin Ring as #1...) in a docked or traditional console setting. My kids love Overcooked, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, etc. This maps to how our family uses our Switch as well. It's rare for my kids to use the Switch as a portable handheld. To me, SD's incredibly wide compatibility has a ton of appeal to my kids. Java Minecraft with mods in a portable Switch form factor? Hell yes!
- nicta 4y agoUnder Narrow by number of players there's a Shared/Split Screen Co-op option. Just looking at it, the ones I'm familiar with are all couch co-op type games.
- rektide 4y agoYeah, the section is there! Alas the pickings are just pretty slim on PC. Overcooked, Railed, Plates Up... some others. It saddens me significantly how PC gaming has gotten more and more and more 1 player 1 computer. I also would love to see more Remote Play Together games, where other players don't need the game to play. I'm not sure if this is just one shared screen (fine) or if potentially the game can stream different things to different players (effing radical). But adoption seems quite low.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 4y agoI play many couh coop with my daughter, but yeah a section would be nice. I essentially buy as many of those as possible to find the fun ones.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 4y ago5 years old hands are too small. Tested with my daughter. It just isn't made for children, which makes me sad, but it is what it is
